It's Leaders OOnfideDu of Carrying the
Assembly Districts of New York City.
NEW YORK, July ia house toulouse
canvas is being made by the leaders of the
United Labor, or Henry George party,
preparatory to the election of delegates to
the Syracuse convention. Mr.. NJ. Mackin
expects to be able to announce to the con-
vention that the United Labor party ia
sure CT carrying most of the assembly dis
tricts of New York City and of securing
the district attorneyship and a maj )rity
of the board OF aldermen. So sure are
the labor men of carrying these districts
that they will run straight labor tickets
and neither seek nor countenance any
combination with Irving Hall or the Re-
publicans.
I'VE have made large gains since last
fall" said Mr.. McMackin. especially
amongst storekeepers and clerks These
people were scared last year at Georges
proposition to confstlcate land, but they
have since had time to look into the sub
lect carefully. and many of them have con-
cluded that the constellation which Mr..
George proposes is really for their benefit;
so they have come TO Us recently in large
numbers. You can state that our organi-
zation in this city have fully $4,000 mem.
bers- That is enough to give us this city
in the coming elections"
The United Labor party has not yet held
q national convention. Arrangements will
re made for meeting of all its branches
in other states early in the spring, when
national organization will be effected.

Strike of Engieesrs and Ftremen on the
Elevated Hallway.
New YoRK, Suly 1.-THE strike on the
Brooklyn elevated railway was a complete
surprise to everyone. At that hour the
trains are loaded with passengers on their
way from business and work in New York
to their homes in Brooklyn. The result
was terrible crush at the Brooklyn end of
the bridge and Fulton Ferry. Thousands
were thus stopped in their journey home
ward. The trouble has been brewing for
some time. The men complained of long
hours and thereewere rumors of a reduction
in wages. Yesterday nine men, three en-.
gineers and six fremen, were discharged.
A meeting OF the others, who all
belong to the brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers, met and demanded
their reinstatement pending a settlement
by arbitration, whereupon a strike was
ordered for 4 o'clock this afternoon and
took place at that hour. Train after
train, as it reached the terminus at East
New York, was s1detrscked. At $50 p.
m. the blockade extended for a mile.
Large crowds gathered at the terminus.
In the meantime the vast crowds at the
lower end took to the surface roads aud
gradually got away. Chief Arthur, of the
Brotherhood, has been telegraphed for
and, is is expected, tomorrow morning
will arrive. In the meantime the strikers
maintain perfect order. About fifty en-
gineers and as many firemen are out.
After time q few switchmen were Sc
cured and trains were running every
twenty minutes.

the three young men, with a guide,
left Smiths and penetrated the
forest, sixteen miles, to camp and hunt.
Here, while telling tree, an ak in young
Ewing's hands slipped and cut deep cash
in his foot. Quite unable to walk, and
faint aud bleeding, he was placed on rude
stretcher and carried back to Smiths by
slow and painful stages. When the tavern
was reached the foot, by reason of long
want of surgical attention and the extreme
heat, had become so much swollen and in.
famed that it is now doubtful If amputa-
ton, which has been advised, viii save the

the Ewing family of Ohio, and by reason
of his great wealth, unusual talents and
prepossessing appearance, has high social
standing at home and in the Eastern cities,
where he has been educated.
